A 62-year-old female was referred to us as her upper fixed bridge had failed..... all the supporting teeth had carious lesions below the margins to such an extent that they could not be saved and the adjacent premolars on both sides were also non-restorable: oral hygiene was moderate. Her medical history was complex

A 25 year old lady was referred to the unit by her dental surgeon due to advanced acid erosion of her upper teeth. She had mild sensitivity but was very unhappy about her appearance. Pre-operative analysis in the implant combined clinic included a clinical and medical examination, X-rays, study models and a wax up / mock up of the expected outcome.

This is a 70 year old gentleman referred by his dental surgeon regarding implant treatment in the upper jaw, He had lost three teeth and was correctly advised that a convention bridge would not be an ideal restoration.

Under general anesthesia, bone re-contouring surgery was performed as planned and six implants were inserted into the upper jaw and five into the lower jaw. An immediate temporary bridge was fitted, followed by a final bridge six months later.

Toothbrushing tools date back to 3500-3000 BC when the Babylonians and the Egyptians made a brush by fraying the end of a twig. Tombs of the ancient Egyptians have been found containing toothsticks alongside their owners. Around 1600BC, the Chinese developed "chewing sticks" which were made from aromatic tree twigs to freshen breath.
